Winter Solstice Cupcakes with "Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer" Filling



Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
Preparation

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
2In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a
time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed
mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon
batter into the prepared liners.
3Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Cake is done when it springs back to
the touch.
4Cut cone shapes from the center of each cupcake. Fill with cooled Flying Cauldron

Butterscotch Beer.
5Frost with your favorite icing. Mine is whipped cream.

I decided to use one bottle to make a thick filling for my Winter Solstice cupcakes. To

make this filling I simply added 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the soda. Whisk to

remove all lumps. Then pour into a saucepan and cook. BEWARE... the hot soda will foam

up as it cooks. You need to keep a watchful eye on the saucepan. When it has reached

desired consistency, place in refrigerator to cool.

What is Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer?
 Since 1374, the Flying Cauldron has been making this magical brew for under aged wizards and wizards who are young at heart at their brew pub in Hogsbreath England . The recipe has changed little over the centuries. It has the perfect combination of spells and quality natural ingredients. It continues to be prized for its creamy vanilla and butterscotch flavors.

Now since I can't get Reed's Butterbeer here very easily, I suggest using Cream Soda in the recipe above but if you want to go to the adult version I have included some recipes below for fun as well.

The adult version of Butterbeer:
